minorities of non-Arabs, contrary to what is often cited, namely that the majority of Egyptians are non-Arab, the majority of Moroccans Berber, the majority of Iraqis Persian etc. Statments such as these are most curious given that the most commonly used term in these and other Arab countries, used for identification, is Arab. These Arabs know that their countries contain non-Arab populations, whom are often a people apart. There is no confusion or denial of origins, contrary to what some of the insubstantial evidence points out, which is why I have taken it upon myself to delete statements that are fantastical, insubstantiated, invalid, and antithetical to the empirical evidence. While not discounting the immense importance of these non-Arab influences and populations, even a cursory view of historical and contemporary literature, and various empirical mediums will reveal that the majority of the Arabs occupying these Arab lands, who consider themselves Arab in in fact Arab. This is an incontrovertible fact. Citing "original" sources whose findings are based on paltry numbers, with the two that I have surveyed using less than 100 subjects, and then proceeding to write sweeping statements, that rewrite an entire history, is not in keeping with wwikipedia's five pillars. Indeed, certainty of terms and sources is a desirable prerequisite for a factual and informed representation of the facts. Though wikipedia is not a scholarly source, and hence flawed, and to my mind, extremely flawed and even a disservice to mankind, we must strive for accuracy, objectivity, and shun all "origin" sources and material. We may not cite experiements or studies performed on the whim, new individual and privately financed studies do not suffice in writing history. The deliberate denial of the Arab identity of these people is symptomatic of anti-Arabism. Contributors who seek to deny or downplay the Arab aspect of, funnily, Arab countries, are satiating their wishful thinking and ignorance rather than benefitting the Arab world. Arabs must also be cautious of the growing "original" absurdist and eccentric movements that often seek to appropriate portions of the Arab world. Such unobjective behavior reflects absurdist ideas, personal views, not encyclopedic, historical facts. This in turn compromises the accuracy and neutrality of wikipedia, and most importantly, robs the Arab world of its heritage. Please keep the five pillars in mind as you contribute, and do not make sweeping statements for which you have absolutely no proof, and which defies reality.

origin, my culture food and even musical tastes are Arab by nature. Most Somalis who belong to the main clans will say they are not Arab, The reason is because, Somalis are hostile and suspicious people even pure Somalis such as the Djiboutians would noy like to be called Somali but rather Djiboutians its a strange fact of being Somali, I am tanned and considered light in the Somalis sense with soft black hair and a long straight nose but still appear as the typical skinny long nosed and fine featured somalis. My wife on the other hand is so white with a long roman type nose she looks more turkish or khaleeji then 90% of Somalis. But call her Kuwaiti and she will flip out on you. Even the Arabs of Somalia who migrated several generations ago from Yemen or Oman will flip out, Somalis are proud people like our Egyptian brothers, but unlike them we have held on to our language stubbornly.

not be considered ethnically/racially Arab. To be honest, there's not much logic to the color-coding right now: southern Mauritania is also clearly non-Arab, and several Sahel states are at least partially Arab in the same fashion that Somalia is (or isn't, depending on your point of view). And then there's the Arab-dominated areas of Iran, Berber regions in North Africa, and the Kurdish parts of Syria, etc. I think it would be better to have one or more of the following options: 1. Arab league members or 2. all countries where a majority speaks Arabic as a first language, and/or it's the main official language, or 3. a color-coding that marks all areas dominated by Arabic-speaking people(s) with no regard to state borders. Of course, in cases 1 and 2 it should be noted that not all of the population of all the colored countries is or considers itself to be Arab.

the Berbers, whose presence is quite distinct to natives, and not all occupants of the region yet theatrical, unsubstantiated presumptuous suppositions were written rather lightheartedly, which is deplorable! This sort of speculation is in no way in keeping with wiki's pillars, and hardly encyclopedic. Still yet, there are no verifiable sources cited in the FRENCH source on this English wikipedia. Further, it is an interpretation and as such, cannot be applied to a region as vast as the Western Arab world. I think the official numbers of Berbers in the different Arab countries in which they live suffices and these should serve as fact. There is no room on ENCYCLOPEDIC mediums to SPECULATE, and write in a threatrical fashion when no reliable source, and in the language pertinentĀ :-) are cited. I hope this hijacking of Arab culture ceases.
2112:", as the issue of Western Saharan statehood remains contested between the SADR and the Moroccan Government. Under the Knowledge (XXG) guidelines, it is impermissible for the Arab World article to prejudice this issue, and as such, the article should apply the standard legal position which deems Western Sahara to be a non-self-governing territory; neither recognizing its statehood as SADR, or its occupation and annexation by Morocco. While I note that the edit history of some Moroccan contributors to Knowledge (XXG) suggest that they may view this as POV, such a belief would clearly be unwarranted. Under international law, the Moroccan occupation and annexation is viewed as illegal and illegitimate rather than "disputed", as in the case of the territories occupied by Israel from 1967 onwards. 1821:
and the very issue is one of immense sensitivity to many in the Gulf Arab states. As such, I felt that this was a wholly appropriate means of informing the reader of the two names used for the body of water, knowledge which if lacked might result in understandable confusion when encountering the different names for the first time. I had considered using "Persian Gulf (also known in the Arab World as the Arabian Gulf)", however, one might opine that such a qualification/explanation of the term is not suited to the opening paragraph of the article. Indeed, in the course of typing this message, another contributor has made the following edit "Persian Gulf (often referred to as the Arabian Gulf by Arabic speaking countries)", which similarly I feel is not suited to the opening paragraph.
1779:ā€¢ As you are aware, the extent to which any term referring to territory or body of water can be judged to be the "correct name" is dependent on a whole plethora of different, and sometimes conflicting factors. The "correct name" according to one government or organization might be deemed incorrect by another. What was once the "correct name" might now be anachronistic. The descriptive quality of a name in one language, or to one culture, might not be equally valid in another. For these reasons, to state that the "correct name for the waterway is the Persian Gulf" to the exclusion of all other names or variants is far too generalized and sweeping a statement, and does not reflect the inherent complexity or nuances of such issues. 1195:, i find the Issue of Israel joining the Arab League pretty ammusing rather then a serious Issue like mentioned by others, its quite hard to imaging Israel an Ara Country, especially with its lifelong history of Massacers against Arabs in Jenin in West Bank, Qana in Lebanon, Deer el Balah in Gaza, Darb el Bakar in Egypt, and tens of others, and its unjustified imprisoning of over 8000 palestinian, while killing demolishing their houses, and kicking them outof their lands in 1948... all these crimes against Arabs are not easily forgotten... judging from Crusaders era history book, i doubt they will be forgotten ever.. 2044:ā— Analysis of Arab media, literature, politics, cartography, etc, reveals that despite their largely non-Arabic speaking populations, Djibouti, Somalia, and Comoros, are all defined as being part of the Arab World by virtue of their membership of the Arab League, the status of Arabic as an official language, and their geopolitical orientation. This does alter the fact that a majority of their populations speak a language other than Arabic as their first language and do not identify as Arab on a cultural/ethnic level, but it does clarify how the state itself is identified. 2661:
because they speak Arabic is simply laughable. Nobody calls the Mexicans Spaniards, and nobody calls the Austrians Germans! And even until Nasser's coup d'etat in 1952, no Egyptian would consider himself/herself an Arab. Read what Taha Hussein, Abbas el-Akkad, Salama Moussa, Louis Awad, Ahmed Lutfy el-Sayed and many other Egyptian intellectuals of the first half of the 20th century said and wrote about that topic. That Arab identity was forced upon the Egyptian some 60 years ago. Egyptians are NOT Arabs. --
2573:
prior to the Revolution of 1952 (as partially evidenced by Egypt being a founding member of the Arab League in 1945, and its involvement in the 1948-1949 Arab-Israeli War) and remains so to this day. However, there is also no real debate about the racial origins of modern-day Egyptians. Whether Muslim or Christian, the vast majority of Egyptians trace their ancestry to the Ancient Egyptians rather than the peoples of the Arabian Peninsula. There are few Egyptians who will contest this.
1841:
important consideration, but would also be a gratuitous insult to Iranians and those of Iranian descent. While the sensitivities of individuals or groups should never dictate the content of articles, they are a valid consideration in the editing process. Furthermore, it is in the interests of all contributors than an acceptable, while still wholly accurate, form of words be used in all articles to avoid the severely negative consequences of edit warring.
2869: 31: 2085:ā— Western Sahara's status as part of the Arab World is unaffected by the contested political/legal status of the territory, for, either as a sovereign state in the form of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR), or as part of Morocco, the majority of the population still satisfies the first criteria mentioned above, a fact unaltered by its non-membership of the Arab League. 2122:
which are determinative of a still contested political issue, or state as fact that which is inaccurate under international law. This not only provides the reader with accurate information, but in this instance, would prevent the escalation of the Sahrawi vs. Moroccan edit warring that has characterized the edit history of some other Knowledge (XXG) articles.
1399:, I believe the areas estimated for Arabic majority in Algerian Saharan are rather too extensive. I would like to know what the data sourcing there was, as my last understanding for Berberophones was their extent up in the Sahara was rather larger. We also have colouring of effectively uninhabited areas as default Arabic. Strikes me as problematic. ( 1339:), I see pros and cons for both versions. I really like the simplicity of the base map used in the first version (the second map is way too busy with dots everywhere representing islands, lakes, mountains, etc.), however the second is quite nice in the way that it shows both majority and minority Arab areas. Also, no offense meant, but I 1831:
measure by the same revisionist propagandists mentioned above in response to the use of "Arabian Gulf" therein, or elsewhere. As you know, this is not the standard form; in academic, political, and vernacular usage, after the first mention of the Gulf (be it prefixed with "Persian" or "Arabian"), all subsequent mention is simply of "Gulf".
1797:
criteria you mention for correct terminology is the preferred English language and United Nations term, naturally you will accept that there is no genuine basis for using the term Arabian Gulf to refer to the Red Sea in the present day. Thus, any allegation that confusion might arise in this regard would obviously be disingenuous.
1392:
non-Arabic mother tongue majority ethnic groups - the map is colouring the non-Muslim or rather the Muslim minority areas as the only non-Arab populations. A factual error. Additionally, as we reflect, if Siwans are to be reflected on the Egypt map, so too should the Nubians in the Aswan area, and the Nubians in northern Sudan.
1830:
Moreover, as other contributors have noted and reverted, the editing history of the Arab World article has witnessed attempts to insert the term "Persian" before every mention of the term "Gulf" (e.g. "Persian Gulf states" rather than just "Gulf states"), in what might be seen as an over-compensatory
1721:
article. Since the opening paragraph outlines the geography of the Arab World, it is more appropriate to mention the Arabian Sea than the Gulf because, as just stated, it is the most eastward body of water bordering the Arab World. I myself neglected this fact when I reworded the opening paragraph of
1097:
The point is that the region is immense. The study this article uses is based on subjects from the Western Sahara (not a North African country) and some parts of Southern Morocco, yet it applies the findings to the whole of North Africa, which is more than twice as large as Europe. Obviously, this is
615:
That's southern Sudan (which is non-Arab) and northern Iraq (which is Kurdish). Saudi Arabia is not shaded. Perhaps you're thinking of Somalia? Somalia is included in the Arab league and has many cultural ties to the Arab world, but it's population does not speak Arabic as a first language, and could
356:
I raise this issue especially to help clarify what "Arab world" means. I haven't found any clear definition what kind of states could be included. Could it be considered a region without definite borders and political divisions: a general region where Arabic-speaking people are predominant? Are there
79:
I have removed an opening paragraph about the Berbers of North Africa, quite a VAST region, as the source cited is in French, and deals primarily with the "berbers" of these regions and their history and experience and not with the region as a whole. That is, it is discussing the social experience of
2358:
Way to go chopping off the sentence to imply something not in it. The rest of the sentence says that many Egyptians don't consider themselves Arabs, the first part is just a general statement that many peoples of non-Arab origins dispute this definition. And it did seem like Psamtik was being ganged
2288:
I'm about to revert Egyegy's changes to the article, but thought I would explain first. In the first paragraph, Egyegy's edit removes a lot of material about other parts of the Arab world, also introuducing a particular POV about Egyptians. The second paragraph is rather uninformative: Egypt made up
1928:
Well, these are different things. No one in English, other than some Arabs, would refer to Somalia, Djibouti, Comoros as part of the Arab world: they are neither ethnically or linguistically Arab (apart from minorities), while they are, indeed, members of the Arab League. However, my changes to this

article itself, the primary reason I included the edit "Arabian/Persian Gulf" in the opening paragraph of the article was to immediately inform the reader of the naming issue as it is directly relevant to the Arab World article. For, in the Arab World, the term Arabian Gulf is used almost uniformly,
1806:
I feel confident in stating that you were acting solely in good faith in making reference to the Red Sea issue as I myself have encountered occasions when the same claim has been advanced. Without exception, the source of all such claims has been partisan propagandist literature seeking to further a

Morocco is not an Arab country neither is the so called "Western Sahara"! The "Western Sahara" is a fake case created by the Algeria's Boumedienne complot against Morocco. It happened all in the context of Cold War and Baathism-Arabism sphere. Now, both Cold War and Baathism-Arabism are parts of the
674:
Well the majority of people in Egypt, Morocco, Iraq, Palestine aren't probably "ethnically" Arab, if you mean to say descended from people who migrated from the Arabian penninsula after the Hegira. But as some one who spent time in Khartoum I can tell you that the language everyone speaks is Arabic,
387:
Ah, leave it in there. By its membership in the AL I think it qualifies to be in the article, but there should be something on that in the article, if there is not already. Better be inclusive here than not. Maybe the best thing would be to have a map where the coloring could fade out of Arab areas,
311:
which would be the main point of inclusion in Arab world. Giving some official preference to Islam is also more or less a universal amongst these states. Israel doesn't meet either criteria. Plus, in terms of lifestyle, family structures etc. Israel is much more westernized. One wouldn't describe it
110:
I don't understand why Maghreb al Arabi is claiming to have only arabized berbers. I am an Algerian Arab and I have no relation to the berbers of Algeria. i realize and respect their existence, but to call us ALL arabized berbers is ridiculous. Standford University did a genetic study showing that
94:
How can you make such a sweeping statement? I am a native of one of these countries, and am familiar with the rest, and I assure you that in most traditionally Arab countries, that is, excluding the nonsensical additions of Mauritania and Sudan, the majority of the populations are Arab, with various

implies the innacurate impression that Egyptians (as a people) dispute a linguistic basis for Arab identity. And you haven't addressed my point that saying that Egypt is made up of Egyptians is a vacuous statement. Nowhere have I suggested that there are not Egyptians who do not consider themselves
2314:
I am also about to revert your revert. In the first paragraph, I restored it to its previous version which didn't include that information that you're referring to. If someone wants to add new information about Palestinians, Lebanese or whatever, do it independently since the addition that was made
2103:
The only instance in which a dispute over Western Sahara might be cited in this context is as to the number of countries within the Arab World. Currently, the introductory paragraph states 23 (all the Arab League member states plus Western Sahara). It should be noted that the sentence refers to "23

article. As you will see from the article's editing history, I rewrote most of the opening paragraph back in the Spring of 2007 to give it approximately its current form. In doing so, I neglected the fact that the Persian Gulf/Arabian Gulf is not the most eastward extent of the Arab World. The most
1583:
Although there is likely to be no end to this, I have made an attempt at genuinely NPOV wording on the W. Sahara issue - as well as conforming usage on the Palestinian territories to non-favouring language. I am certain wording could be improved, but the present phrasing at least reduces both sides
1411:
Returning to this issue, as I see no substantive reply has been made, as in the case of the Arabic language page, I suggest removing Arab League's map as (i) it is clearly original research, (ii) it is not clear how he derived the colouration on the map, e.g. he shows areas of Sudan that are not to

Further to the above, I have allowed a period of almost 5 months to pass so that any objections to reverting the article name back to "Arab World" could be expressed and discussed. Since no objections have been raised, and since the only 2 comments have been supportive of reversion, I will make the
1018:
This good faith move was incorrect. The term is the accepted name for an entire geo-political/geo-linguistic region, both in English and in Arabic. As such, both words should have capitalized first letters. This is the format for other geographical regions, such as "Middle East" and "Far East" for

I was very surprised by this assertion, so I followed the link. The linked document says "Countries That Recognize Palestinian Passports", which I think is different to recognising Palestine as a state. Especially since the USA appears on that list of countries, while the USA is also nominated by
2610:
Arabs are people who speak Arabic natively or self identify as Arabs as at least some component of their ethnicity. As such, and as a practical matter, Egyptians are Arab. Yeah, they're descended from (like almost everyone who is Arab today) other folks. Big deal. (16:35, 27 September 2008 (UTC))
2064:
It would be imprudent and inaccurate for contributors to disregard the above criteria and to arbitrarily determine the size or sphere of the Arab World to the extent of denying a country or territory membership of that region. Such an issue is one of self-definition/identification ā€“ that is to say
2572:
I fear that in his efforts to improve the content of the article, Middayexpress is confusing two different issues. There is no real debate about whether the vast majority of Egyptians identify as Arab on a cultural basis, in the same way as Syrians, Palestinians, and so on. This was both the case
2121:
I restate that this should not in anyway be viewed as POV, anti-Moroccan, or a challenge the Moroccan Government's official position, or for that matter anti-Sahrawi, or a challenge to the SADR's official position. In complying with the Knowledge (XXG) guidelines, contributors must not make edits
2012:
The example of Djibouti, Somalia, and Comoros aptly demonstrates that the 2 criteria are not necessarily mutually inclusive, with a majority of the population in these countries not speaking Arabic as a first language, or identifying as Arab, but with the countries nonetheless full members of the
1840:
I of course recognize that "Persian Gulf" enjoys more general and longer established historical usage than "Arabian Gulf", and Knowledge (XXG)'s editing guidelines direct that this fact should not be omitted or minimized. To do so would not only misinform and confuse the reader, which is the most

yes, but they are black, not Arab. Identity is not only linguistic but racial, cultural, historical and social. Sudan is not Arab in that sense, nor is Mauritania. And as for the so called "greater" Arab world, that includes other sub-saharan countries, well, I think,this is what happens when one

The map does seem rather confusing and confused about what it wants to show the reader/viewer. One Arab League member is not shown, while one non-member is colour-coded. A better way to illustrate the scope of the Arab "World" (its "sphere", as it were) would be to show the Arabian Peninsula in a

Very interesting issue you've raised. To include or not Israel you could look into the criteria of inclusion into the Arab world. If it's location or language, Israel meets the criteria, if it's lifestyle or the arab league, it wouldn't. Anyway, I'm not here to judge, and because of the fact that

Actually, the more appropriate term is "Arab world", not "Arab World." The lowercase form is the one usually used in news sources and scholarly journals. Therefore, some admin should move the text of the "Arab World" article to "Arab world", and then make "Arab World" a redirect to "Arab world".

As a Somali Think of myself as a Somali, similar to how a Yemeni would think of himself as a Yemeni and Qatari and so on. But given the choice to indicate beyond nationalism I identify as Arab over anything else, why? well even if we negate the fact that my great-grandfather was of South Yemeni

Actually most of his additions are correct, it's just that we don't have verifiable statistics to tell us how many Egyptians consider themselves Arab or not. But it's pretty well known that most don't, if you ask any Egyptian on the street who the Arabs are, he will tell you Saudis, Jordanians,
